Low TSH
Background I have a lifelong hereditary condition known as FAP. Because of this I have had several surgeries to remove my whole colon and rectum. In 2009 I had surgery to create what is called a J pouch, which is made from approximately the last 40cm of terminal ileum. Current issues. Recent blood

Lupron Question.
I have been on Lupron since June 2022. September 2023 Abiraterone and 5mg of prednisone was added. Psa was 19 in Sept and dropped to 1.26 as of Jan. 11 2024. Since going on Abi when I get a monthly Lupron shot I have trouble sleeping that first night and mild flu like symptoms the next day. I have agreed

Hypogonadism, heat flushing, and testosterone replacement
Hi all, It is almost a year since I had my external beam radiation for Gleason 7 (3+4) PCa (see my profile). So far so good: 4 PSA tests were reassuringly low. I am now almost 82 and I am hoping to deal with my strange heat-flushing problem, which I have had for several years. It predates my cancer

Can diet cause SIBO?
Hello everyone, was diagnosed with SIBO last year after a positive breath test. Took an 8 week course of rifaximin (550 mg, twice a day) and assumed all was well. SIBO seems to have come back this year (positive breath test), and I am repeating the course of antibiotics. This time I've been told to

Seeking anyone familiar with aggressive small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer and/or with lurbinectedin as 2nd line chemotherapy.
A needle biopsy Oct 15, 2023 revealed that at least some of my metastatic prostate cancer in a lymph node had mutated to an aggressive small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer. (notable for CDK N1B, RB1, Tp53 mutations. MSS, TMB low) I had 4 cycles of carboplatin/etoposide chemotherapy, which ended

Neutropenia whilst on Tocilizumab
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. Diagnosed with PMR and GCA Nov. 2021. For last 2 months I have been on weekly Tocilizumab injections; this followed a further flare up in December 2023 when the entire aorta was inflamed (I have never had cranial symptoms). I was certainly shocked

Worrisome DEXA results
I had 3 doctors tell me not to worry about a 12% decrease in my spine since the DEXA scans are not accurate when bone mass is very low. In addition in my case my spine has twisted and is not in the same position as in the last DEXA. On top of that the X-ray technician mislabeled the scan. For example

blood tests
haven’t posted in a while. Coping on 2 mg a day for a few years. I haven’t had a blood test since before covid. I have requested from time to time but been refused - I guess if I’m feeling ok then don’t worry. Is this usual when on long term steroids? As I get my pension this year I’m sure the general

Coarse Liver on Ultrasound scan
Good Morning, I had an ultrasound scan last Monday for suspected gallstones. No gallstones and was told all looked fine. On Wednesday last week the GP called me to say the report had come as a Goldstar report with a possible cancer diagnosis. My liver was described as coarse with multiple areas of increased

Approved additives and E-numbers (UK)
As food additives are often discussed, I thought it might be useful to post the current list of approved additives in the UK. Note that the use of substances in foods is largely separate to their use in medicines. One example being Titanium dioxide which is now banned in foods in the EU and Northern

in 1988 I was 7 years old and a adenoid and tonsils removal was suggested as I was always ill . My op was At Birmingham children’s hospital . All seemed to go well with the op they said but my mom thought differently I looked see-through and as she and a nurse sat me up to drink a sip of water. I
